Directory of Irish Football Clubs and Soccer Teams

Bookmark and Share

Soccer-Ireland.com is an Irish football club directory site launched this year. This site contains football club information including pitch directions, detailed maps, football club official contact details, and you can even check out the weather for match days. The primary aim of the site is to serve the information needs of the Irish soccer community including footballers, club officials, referees, and football supporters of soccer clubs at all levels. At present most of the clubs listed are Dublin football teams however we will list soccer clubs from all 32 counties in Ireland. There is also a list of all local authority soccer pitches in Dublin. The site contains a directory of Irish soccer leagues and organisations including the Football Association of Ireland (FAI) and soccer referee information. A recent addition is a section that lists all Irish international soccer results and Irish qualification campaigns from the very first Irish Free State match in 1924. Finally there is also a growing section dedicated to great Irish soccer players and Irish soccer managers.

Irish Soccer Leagues and Irish Soccer Organisations

There is an expanding section on the various football leagues and groups that organise and administer Irish soccer. At present the following leagues organisations are included in our directory.

Republic of Ireland International Qualifying Campaigns

Ireland has only qualified for the final stages of major soccer tournaments on just four occasions. The Euro 1988 Finals in Germany, the 1990 World Cup in Italy, the 1994 World Cup in USA, and the 2002 World Cup in Japan and South Korea. Over the decades there have been many near misses and hard luck stories for the Irish. Here are the details of all of the Irish soccer qualifying campaigns and Ireland's 2010 World Cup Group.

Irish Soccer Greats

We are also gradually building a section on great Irish soccer players that have represented the Republic of Ireland International and Northern Ireland football teams.

Great Irish Soccer Players

Women's Soccer in Ireland

Women's soccer in Ireland, along with the rest of the World, is growing rapidly. Across the globe it is estimated that the genders are rapidly approaching parity in terms of numbers playing the game. In Ireland this has been recognised by the FAI and the Women's Football Association of Ireland is being fully integrated at all levels into the main governing body. Learn more about Women's Soccer in Ireland.

Futsal in Ireland

Futsal is a form of indoor soccer that began in South America in the 1930's and is now played in many countries across the World. In recognition of this FIFA and UEFA have established international competitions to reflect this. The FAI has launched a strategic plan to foster Futsal as a complementary form of football within the overall game of soccer in Ireland. Read more about Futsal in Ireland.

Irish Football Grounds

The Lansdowne Road Stadium Development Company (LRSDC) - a joint venture between the FAI and the IRFU - is currently overseeing the completion of the first soccer stadium in Ireland to meet the criteria for a UEFA Elite Stadium. The Aviva Stadium is being built upon the site of the original Lansdowne Road football ground and is due for completion by April 2010.
